Embodiment Construction

[0021]The following embodiments describe systems and methods for connecting communications on a wireless network. While the embodiments refer specifically to voice calls from a caller, the skilled addressee will readily understand that the invention relates to the methods and systems for providing the communications, not the specific types of communications provided. Therefore, all manner of communications, including but not limited to voice, data, text message, VOIP, email, fax, multimedia etc and their equivalents are considered to be within the scope of the invention. Similarly, the present invention is considered to be independent of the type of mobile telecommunications device employed, with, for example, mobile telephones, pagers, personal digital assistants, WAP enabled devices etc being considered as equivalent and hereinafter referred to as mobile stations. In the following embodiments, the terms flexible subscriber number and temporary number may be used interchangeably.

Abstract

In a mobile telecommunications network, a subscriber having a primary subscription on a home mobile network registers one or more flexible subscriber numbers on a secondary network that are associated with the primary subscription. A caller places a call to a subscriber through a serving network using the flexible subscriber number. The flexible subscriber number is translated into a primary MSISDN and the call is connected to the subscriber so that roaming charges to the subscriber are minimized.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to mobile telecommunications and more particularly to systems and methods for allocating mobile numbers and providing communications on mobile networks.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Each mobile subscriber is assigned a mobile phone number. For example, in the US it is a country code plus 10 digit number comprised of the area code followed by a 7 digit locally assigned number.[0003]There are several cases when the present numbering scheme is inadequate or insufficient. An example is the case of a family or a group of co-workers traveling from US to Europe. If one member of the group wants to call another (either using a cell phone or from a local land line such as a hotel phone), he or she would have to dial the full phone number of the called party. When such a call is placed, it will be first routed to the home country (i.e. US). Then it will be routed back to where the subscriber is actually roaming. The resulting charges are u...
